<p> PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — China just put on a big military parade, a few months after Russia did the same. But there's no country more adept at putting on elaborate, massive displays of state power than North Korea, the undisputed goose-stepping capital of the world, and next month, Pyongyang will stage what is likely to be its biggest celebration in years.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-16/rockets-red-glare-n-korea-gears-major-fete" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-16/rockets-red-glare-n-korea-gears-major-fete#commentsFiled onlineAsiaChinaDiplomatic RelationsDivided regionsGovernmentHeadKim Jong UnKim Jong-ilKim Jong-unKorealeaderLubbock Avalanche-JournalMajorMember states of the United NationsMilitary of North KoreaNorth KoreaNorth KoreaNuclear program of North KoreapaintPerson CareerPerson TravelPyongyangPyongyangQuotationRepublicsSeoulTechnologyTechnologyUnited NationsWed, 16 Sep 2015 14:56:40 +0000Staff231911 at http://lubbockonline.comNKorea warns it has restarted all nuclear bomb fuel plants http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-09-15/nkorea-warns-it-has-restarted-all-nuclear-bomb-fuel-plants

<p>SEOUL, South Korea — North and South Korea reached a deal Tuesday to ease animosities, with Pyongyang expressing regret over a recent land mine blast and Seoul agreeing to halt propaganda broadcasts that had pushed the rivals to threats of war.</p>
<p>During two rounds of marathon talks that began Saturday at the border village of Panmunjom, the Koreas agreed on a set of steps aimed at easing tension, with Pyongyang agreeing to lift a “quasi-state of war” that it had declared last week, according to South Korea’s presidential office and North Korea’s state media.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-25/deal-reached-easing-north-south-korea-tensions" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-25/deal-reached-easing-north-south-korea-tensions#commentsWorldHYUNG-JIN KIMArmed AttackAsiaDepartment of StateDivided regionsEntertainmentEntertainmentJohn KirbyKim JongKim Jong-ilKim Kwan-jinKoreaMember states of the United NationsnegotiatorNorth KoreaNorth KoreaNorth KoreaNorth Korea–South Korea relationsPanmunjomPanmunjomPerson CareerPolitical geographyPoliticsPoliticsPyongyangPyongyangQuotationRepublicssecurity directorSeoulSouth KoreaSouth KoreaSouth KoreaspokesmanUnited StatesWASHINGTONTue, 25 Aug 2015 05:03:13 +0000HYUNG-JIN KIM229637 at http://lubbockonline.comFrustration high as talks between Koreas drag onhttp://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-24/frustration-high-talks-between-koreas-drag
<p></p>
<p>PYONGYANG, North Korea — As marathon negotiations by senior officials from the Koreas stretched into a third day on Monday, South Korea’s president insisted that anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts will continue unless North Korea apologizes for planting land mines that Seoul says maimed two South Korean soldiers.</p>
<p>The comments by Park Geun-hye suggest both frustration in Seoul and provide a hint at why the talks, which started Saturday evening and whose second session began Sunday afternoon and was still going late Monday morning, drag on.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-24/frustration-high-talks-between-koreas-drag" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-24/frustration-high-talks-between-koreas-drag#commentsWorldERIC TALMADGEDivided regionsEntertainmentEntertainmentMember states of the United NationsNorth KoreaNorth KoreaPolitical geographyPolitical philosophypresidentPyongyangRepublicsSeoulSouth KoreaSouth KoreaMon, 24 Aug 2015 05:15:11 +0000ERIC TALMADGE229573 at http://lubbockonline.comThe Latest on Koreas: S.

<p>South Korea's defense minister is warning North Korea it will face "searing" consequences if it launches fresh provocation.</p>
<p>Han Minkoo has defended anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker broadcasts, saying they are South Korea's response to a land mine that maimed two South Korean soldiers. North Korea denies responsibility for the land mine and says it did not fire at South Korea on Thursday.</p>
<p>The defense minister says: "This time, we'll cut off a vicious circle of North Korean provocation."</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-21/latest-koreas-s-korea-again-warns-north" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-21/latest-koreas-s-korea-again-warns-north#commentsFiled onlineArmed AttackBaek Seung-joodefense ministerDefense MinistryDiplomatic RelationsdirectorDivided regionsEntertainmentEntertainmentEric TalmadgeGovernmentKim Jong UnKim Jong-ilKim Yong CholKorealeaderLubbock Avalanche-JournalMember states of the United NationsNorth KoreaNorth KoreaNorth Korean armyNorth Korean militaryNorth Korea–South Korea relationsOfficerPerson CareerPolitical geographyPoliticsPoliticsPyongyangPyongyangQuotationRepublicsSeoulSouth KoreaSouth KoreaTechnologyTechnologyUnited NationsYonhapYonhapFri, 21 Aug 2015 12:57:05 +0000Staff229222 at http://lubbockonline.comThe A-J Remembers: Clinton Kennedy watched North Korea in warhttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-16/j-remembers-clinton-kennedy-watched-north-korea-war

<p>SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says North Korean soldiers placed the two mines that exploded last week at the border and maimed two South Korean soldiers.</p>
<p>Seoul says Pyongyang will face “searing” consequences for laying the mines that exploded last Tuesday in the Seoul-controlled southern part of the heavily-fortified Demilitarized Zone. Such a move would violate the armistice that ended fighting in the 1950-53 Korean War.</p>
<p>The two wounded soldiers had been on a routine patrol. One soldier lost both legs, while the other lost one leg.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-10/seoul-blames-n-korea-mine-blast-maimed-2" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/world/2015-08-10/seoul-blames-n-korea-mine-blast-maimed-2#commentsWorldAsiaDivided regionsGyeongseong FC–Pyongyang FC rivalryKoreaLubbock Avalanche-JournalMan Made DisasterMember states of the United NationsNorth KoreaPolitical geographyPyongyangPyongyangRepublicsSeoulSouth KoreaSouth KoreaMon, 10 Aug 2015 05:21:28 +0000Staff228191 at http://lubbockonline.comSeoul: North Korean leader has so far executed 70 officialshttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-07-09/seoul-north-korean-leader-has-so-far-executed-70-officials

<p>BONN, Germany (AP) — The United States has succeeded in its bid to “Remember the Alamo,” after the U.N. cultural body approved its status as a world heritage site Sunday.</p>
<p>The Alamo was one of five Spanish Roman Catholic sites, known as the San Antonio Missions, to receive the coveted label likely to boost tourism.</p>
<p>UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee approved the Missions’ status along with more than a dozen others from around the globe, including the Gunkanjima industrial site off Japan that South Korea had long objected to.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2015-07-06/world-heritage-status-alamo-japan-industrial-sites" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/texas/2015-07-06/world-heritage-status-alamo-japan-industrial-sites#commentsTexasCHRISTOPH NOELTING AND FRANK JORDANSAlamo Mission in San AntonioAntonio Lopez de Santa AnnaarchaeologistBattle of the AlamoBonnDijonemperorGeneralGermanyGrand CanyonHashima IslandJapanPerson CareerQuotationSan AntonioSan AntonioSeoulShrinesSouth KoreaSouth TexasSpanish missions in TexasStatue of LibertySusan SnowTechnologyTechnologyTexasTexasTexasTexas RevolutionThe AlamoThe FortressTOKYOUnited NationsUnited Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural OrganizationUnited StatesMon, 06 Jul 2015 05:04:09 +0000CHRISTOPH NOELTING AND FRANK JORDANS224720 at http://lubbockonline.comToday in History http://lubbockonline.com/associated-press/2015-06-28/today-history
